mod_php4 problem

[ToeShot]

ok I found a web site on a search engine to help me install php4 and apache to work together but I believe I have done something wrong. Well I know I have that is why I am here.ok to start. My apache is installed and working but not with php support. so I will go through my steps and maybe someone will know something. at prompt

localhost CurrentDir]# ./configure \

--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--activate-module=src/module/php4/libphp4.a

results

make[4]: *** No rule to make targetall'. Stop.
make[3]: [all] Error 1
make[2]: [subdirs] Error 1
make[1]: [build-std] Error 2
make: [build] Error 2

My question is How Do I correct These Errors?

[undertow]

That is very strange. Try doing "make clean" and deleting config.cache. Then run configure again. I'm not sure how --activate-module works (I built PHP as a DSO), but make sure that the src/module/php4/libphp4.a file exists. I suspect it will but you should check anyway.

The main error you are getting is "make[4]: *** No rule to make target `all'." This is strange to me because "all" is usually the target that's in all makefiles (no pun intended). All I can think is that your makefiles were generated improperly or something, so try running configure again and see if you get the same problem.

[ToeShot]

Thanks undertow for the response.
ok I tried that and it did't work. so I deleted every instance of PHP and Apache and reinstalled both. First I did just a configure with apache and then I did a configure, make, make install, with PHP. With a little fussing around I got this to work with mysql. Well that is the way it was configured anyways, I have not been able to test it.

I did a configure with prefix and activate module this did not work

Then I did just a configure with a prefix for apache and this worked find and my webserver works fine. Then I tried to activate the mod_php4 again and again I run into problems.

this time I have a different file though instead of libphp4.a I have libmodphp4.a
so now at my prompt I have

#./configure \

--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libmodphp4.a

results

same as previous
or at least as near.

#make

results

I have tried moving files to every directory but to no avail. I am lost at what to do now can anyone help.

[undertow]

Well, you seem to be missing files (the No Such File or Directory errors). I suggest unpacking the tarfile again to make sure eveything is in the right place.

Also you should really get a newer version of Apache. 1.3.26 is the newest version, which is higher than your 1.3.9 because you should think of each part of the version number as it's own integer instead of a decimal number (just in case you didn't get that, I didn't either at one point :o). Also, compiling PHP as a DSO is a heck of a lot easier (in my opinion). Just use --with-apxs when you run PHP's configure.

Good luck!

The output in your posts suggests you are compiling Apache - have you compiled PHP first?

Brief instructions:

[ToeShot]

Yes I compiled PHP first with mysql and apache then re-did it with mysql, apache, and apxs this last time the only error I got was I forgot the make number

make[ ] *** [all-recursive] Error 1

what ever that means

but when ever I try a make on the apache I get the probs

Ok, is that what happens when you build PHP? If so the problem lies in the PHP build, not the Apache build - what configure options are you making PHP with?

[ToeShot]

#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php \

--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.26 \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin

but before I ran this config I ran this for apache but no make

#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \

--enable-module=so

no probs with config in either case.

Thank you for your time and help if you have any ideas please post them. but it is 3:30 am here I need some sleep before work. I will try your link thursday. I looked at it tonight but I am to tired.

just a note I did make cleans before new configures
again thank you for your time.
